I have http://www.oilguard.com/Ford7.php & am very happy with it so far.
Dont really know anything about the FS2500 sys. Other than all the adds & I am allways suspect of mega add campains.

One concern I might have about it...can it filter too finely and take some of the additives out of the oil? If it filters finely enough to remove soot from the oil, thus keeping it clean, what else might it be taking out? I'd be worried that things like anti-foam agents, friction modifiers, viscosity improvers, detergents, etc might be filtered out.

Oh ya I use Schaffers 9000 5w-40 oil, so that may contribute to it still looking good even after exteded usage. I get my oil tested & Blackstone says it is still in great shape so thinking about stretching the change interval to 10k, just not sure Im ready to make that jump yet.

I'm using the OilGuard unit with Schaeffer's 9000 5w40, too. Ready for my first oil sample on my first run with it. I've been running the OilGuard unit, though, since January, and have put about 18K miles on it, and it holds up very well.
I did a lot of research on the Amsoil and Oilguard units before I decided on the OG, but did not run across the FS system until after my install. I think I would go with the FS system on my next truck.
Regarding the filtration of anti-foaming agents, lube agents, etc... I've heard a lot of comments on that potential, but I've not been able to find a technical article that has test results demonstrating that it actually happens. Not saying it can't... just that I haven't found any documentable proof of it yet on hte oilf filtration systems for vehicles.
The FS systems is pricey, for sure, but I've heard excellent reports from several FTE members who have it and really like it.

That issue is dealt with in an equally vague manner on the OilGuard system. I've asked the question and get two different answers.
1. Change Full flow AND bypass filters on every oil change.
2. Change Full Flow filter every oil change, and Bypass element every other oil change.
Until I finalize which oil I'm settling with and what interval I'll be using (10,000, 12,000 15,000, 18,000, etc.) between oil changes, I'll be changing both filters with each oil change. Then I'll experiment with skipped intervals, but only with Blackstone analysis to back up my decisions.
